  1. I absolutely love this recipe. I was looking for a good mushroom recipe and this one is fantastic. I love it and my husband loves it.

    1. Thank you. You can make a day ahead, but there will be some flavor and taste changes. Usually when any dish is made hot and served hot, it tastes different as compared to the same dish served after some hours or the next day.

  2. This is one of my personal favourites…lost count of the number of times I have made this.The curd marination adds to the flavour and taste.Thanks for sharing.5 stars

  3. Truly it looked the best and tastes unforgetably delicious. It’s a receipe to try over n over !5 stars

  4. Hi, I really like your recipes and have tried many. They always come out good. Question for this recipe- When do you add Salt? Is it with the dry spices or in the end after mushroom is cooked?
    Thanks,
    Preeta

    1. thanks preeta. salt is added after adding water. some salt is added in the yogurt marination and some salt is added later after adding water. i will update in the post also.

  5. Semma tasty dish
    I remembered me fish curry taste . I use to ve that during my childhood
    Thank u so much
    Lovely dish
    Simple and fantastic5 stars

  6. Hi Dassana, keen to try this recipe, can I use Gobi or any other vegetable instead of mushroom ? Also, no matter how hard I try to whisk in the yogurt, it always splits 🙁 so looks-wise not so nice BUT taste-wise A+. Your recipes always turn out fabulous, no complaints from the family but compliments….I always point anyone who asks about the recipe to your website, even strangers whom I meet at the supermarket lol ! You are a star ⭐️my dear !

    1. yes you can. go ahead and prepare the recipe. for mixing yogurt, keep the flame on low or keep the pan down. add the yogurt. when you are adding the yogurt, start mixing it. be brisk and quick. once all the yogurt has been mixed uniformly, then you can keep the pan on stove top.

      thanks a lot dimpi. its because of readers like you that i am adding recipes. its your encouragement and motivation that keeps me going.

  7. Thanks a lot for these wonderful recipes…I’ve been following your recipes for a couple of years….and they’re the best.

    thanks a ton!!5 stars

    1. thanks devjani. when you see oil specks floating on the top, it means the mushrooms as well as the gravy is done. mushrooms take 8 to 10 minutes to cook.

  11. I was very eager to make this recipe from the day i hav seen it….I had methi at my home but was unable to get mushrooms from past few days……finally i got mushrooms but methi got spoiled 🙁 ……Today i made mushroom with kasuri methi….I just cant believe…The curry is just like in Restaurant…. I loved it !!!!!!

  12. Hey Dassana, this is the second time I m writing to u. Thanx for the lovely recipe. I m a confirmed non vegetarian. But, I hv been cooking a lot of veg recipes since I came across your website. My family relishes them. God bless.

  13. Amazing recipe..cooked mashroom for the first time today.. Everyone loved it. Paneer tikka and methi mashroom was the menu..awesome dinner!
    Thank you5 stars

  14. Love the taste. I added some agave nectar as I used canned tomatoes and Greek yogurt which are both super tangy. I can tell you put a lot of effort into your recipes!!5 stars

  15. i tried out a number of recipes from your post, they were excellent. in fact, my strictly non-veg family is relishing your veg recipes on par with chicken or mutton items. Thanks. In fact, we have almost stopped going to expensive restaurants , as your recipes taste better. Thanks again. God bless you. May i request you to post a recipe of paneer pasanda?5 stars

    1. welcome radha. thats good to know. thanks for your kind words and blessings. even we avoid going to restaurants now. i have noted down the paneer pasanda recipe request.

  16. I tried this recipe and it turn out to be fabulous and tasty. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with us. This is the best site for veg recipes and also for food lovers5 stars

  17. Hi Dassana,
    I am a big fan ! I just love the way you write – simple, open, detailed, weaving a background into each of your recipes. I have tried many recipes and specially trust your healthy cake recipes ! You are one of the reasons why I have developed a love for cooking and are the first site I check with for any recipe. 🙂
    I want to try methi mushroom today. Will this recipe work if I were to include (cooked) green peas in it ? I could add them at the stage where mushroom is added to the gravy. Or would you recommend marinating the peas along with the mushrooms? Could you also suggest a remedy so that the curd doesnt split….would adding a tbsp of besan to the curd help in not splitting?
    Thanks for the inspiration and the great blog !

    1. thanks a lot suman for the kind words. i would suggest to steam the peas before and then add toward the end. peas will take more time to cook than mushrooms. secondly when adding the yogurt/curd is any dish, lower the flame and while adding stir briskly. this method does help the yogurt not to split. adding besan will help, but the taste will change. i would suggest to roast the besan first separately, till it becomes aromatic and then add. this would give a different flavor then adding besan directly.

  18. Hi! M a huge fan of your recipes. Would have tried more than 20 of them! I want to try this dish as we unexpectedly have mushroom in kitchen but I dont have curd. Can I use any substitute?

      1. Thanks Dassana! I made kadhai mushrooms that day but this recipe was so tempting that I am trying it today with all the essential ingredients!5 stars

  19. hi I tried this recipe and it came out fab, it was like restaurant dish so rich and tasty. I have tried most of your recipes and all were superb. Awesome keep up the good work.

  20. It came out superb. Didn’t have time to marinate, so added sour cream towards the end.
    Thanks for all your awesome recipes.
    Muchos Gracias.

  21. Hello Dassana,

    I tired the recipe you have posted in this site of Methi Mushroom, my mum loved it. She was not fond of mushroom earlier, but now she herself gets mushroom and asks me to make it. Thank you!
    We are bong and are highly non vegetarian, but tis recipe can give a tight competition to all non veg food. I can eat this everyday without complaining.. Thank you once again. You ROCK 🙂

    1. welcome reena. its good to hear positive feedback from you. specially considering the fact that you mostly eat non-vegetarian food. it all depends upon how we cook the recipes. i believe every recipe can be made delicious whether its non-veg or vegetarian food.

  22. Cool recipe Dassana..I made it in my birthday dinner along with some other dishes but this one was the hit… Thank you so much..5 stars

  23. Dassana, when i cooked it the colour was much lighter. Why is that so? Did I use more curd? I had lil less mushroom so i used one tomato less. Or is it bcos of this?

    Albeit, This recipe is v v tasty! Came out very rich and delicious. my husband loved it.
    Please try this dish all u readers! 🙂

  24. Delicious !!!!!!!! I tried this with kasuri methi. Everyone in my family liked this very much.5 stars

  25. I tried couple of recipes from your website and those are great in taste.
    Thanks for posting such a great recipes with simple procedure.
    I am impressed.

  26. Thanks for the recipe, Dassana. However, I used dry methi – kabuki methi – and it turned out pretty awful. Will use fresh methi next time and I’m sure the recipe will be a winner around the dinner table then!

    Thanks again!

  27. Hi Dassana,
    You have a wonderful blog, I have tried the methi mushroom n it came out fantastic! My hubby loved it , next time we’ll try the same with chicken instead of mushroom. I am also a Goan, but presently in States, have bookmarked many of your recipes to try5 stars

  28. as soon as i saw this recipe i decided i wanted to make it i get bored easily cooking the same method of food and am always looking for new styles and today i made this for lunch, i marinated the mushroom and kept it overnight saves time and i did not add water since mushrooms give out so much water along with it i had made spinach mutton trust me the mushroom tasted much better than the mutton. if vegetables are cooked well and made tasty many people would reduce meat eating. i never get french beans and gavar right if you have any tips for that do let me know. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR RECIPES

    1. thanks barkha. i do agree that if veggies are cooked well in a delicious curry or gravy then meat eating would be reduced. i did not get the second part of your comment of french beans & gavar. tips for what?

  29. I love the idea of maringnating mushroom !
    But the gravy turned out different, I could see the dots of yogurt. Also it tasted a bit bitter. I don’t know where I went wrong. Will try once again…

    1. the bitterness would be due to the methi leaves. here we do not get leaves which are very bitter. so next time when you make the recipe, sprinkle some salt on the methi leaves for about 15-20 minutes and then squeeze them. the bitterness will be released.

      the dots of yogurt, could be as the yogurt got split in the curry. whenever making any yogurt based dish unless it calls for sour yogurt, always use fresh yogurt.

  30. I had past through all your Indian recipe,what you send to me since i joined in your website, actually it is very nice and also i had already tasted for cooking.so what i am saying keep on going.my question is do you have any institute?or restaurant?

    1. thanks for the encouraging comments john. i don’t have any institute or restaurant. the recipes which i add on the blog, are all homemade. glad to know you liked the recipes.

  31. I made this recipe and I have to tell that it came delicious and no leftovers ! Love this blog, all the recipes always come perfect! Thank you for such a beautiful pictures!

  32. Dassana whats the name of Jiggs Kalra’s book.. I would love to have that book as my dear hubby loves restaurant style dishes..

    1. the name of jigg’s kalra book is prashad – cooking with the masters. i have mentioned it in the post. may be you missed it. the book has indian cuisines like awadhi, rajasthani, punjabi, goan, south indian, maharashtrian and the famous indian snacks & sweets as well. a great book to cook some really great food at home.

  33. That’s an interesting recipe with lovely images. What do you mean ‘not so nice’ pictures? Very nice photography, Dassana.

    So, did you try a lot of recipes from Jiggs Kalra’s cookbook? I was contemplating on whether to buy the book or not. How did you find the book?

    Btw, your reader Shari (from S.Africa) is right in pointing that your blog is home to awesome vegetarian recipes. I second her. Hard work leads to success and comments like Shari’s are testament to the blog’s success. Keep up the good work, Dassana. 🙂

    1. thanks sailaja for your encouraging and positive comments. i like your blog. a treasure for andhra food as well as indian food.

      the pics are good on the look of it.. but the photographer in me did not like them. i had visualized something else in my mind and when taking the pics, it became something else. these things happens when photographing food.

      i have tried some recipes from jigg’s kalra’s book and they were good. the non veg ones, i substituted with aubergines or mushrooms or potatoes or mix veg. the book has many non veg recipes. they are really restaurant style. it is an excellent book. i would recommend you to buy it. you just have to cut down on the proportions mentioned so that it suits your family. even the spice powders i adjust to family’s need when making the recipe.

      1. Thanks for your feedback, Dassana. I was looking for restaurant style recipes and hoping Jigg Kalra’s book would be a good fit.

  34. Oh those are the fenugreek leaves! I used to drink tea made of that for breast feeding, and I wish I know how to cook meal with it so I can intake more of those. 🙂 Looks delicious!

    1. there are many recipes on the web where you can learn how to cook with methi leaves. in india also we make methi laddoos for lactating mothers.

  35. Oh no! A post that is a week too late. My daughter left home – she loves mushrooms and we had plenty the time she was with me. Husband hates it. So I am left to drool over this picture. I think I will just substitute it with other veggies and make. It will not taste as good though.

    1. if you make with other veggies, it does not taste that good. i have made the spicy south indian mushroom biryani with veggies only, and it was not at all tasting like the original one.

      1. I made a slight variation since I had cream that needed to be used up soon instead of yogurt and used one soft boiled potato and peas and made this. Yummy. I think it might just well be my next post. Though I know the mushroom would have been better.

        1. thank radha. the cream has made all the difference. cream and fenugreek are a really good combination in gravies and curries. mushrooms also would have made a difference to the curry.

  36. I can almost smell and taste this dish from here. I love that the mushrooms are marinated and fresh methi adds great flavor. One more of your dishes, on my list to cook.

  37. Im from South Africa, and came across your website by chance whilst searching for vegetarian dishes. I have tried many of your recipes including this mushroom recipe, which was out of this world. I have also tried your mushroom biryani, pakoras, chick pea patties – cant remember the name and a few others, and they were all amazing. Im so impressed by the simple step by step method, but hats off to you for creating such awesome recipes. Its makes being vegetarian so much more worth while. Im addicted to your site and look forward to new posts as well as trying the recipes. Thankyou for your much appreciated effort, and wish you success for all your endevours for the future. God Bless.

    1. thanks shari. felt so good reading your comment. your encouraging words are a blessing. and on top it you are asking god to bless me. thats really touching from your side. thanks once again.

  38. An interesting recipe, again new to me but already on the ‘to do’ list. Marinating in yogurt very much appeals! Here in Australia our mushrooms arrive in our hands pristine clean, so luckily just a bare need to wipe! Thanks!!

  39. Looks very delicious. I never tried methi with mushroom but very nice combination. I wiil definitely give it a try some point soon. Thanks for the recipe. Pics are making me hungry now…

  40. Looks lovely.. personally I haven’t tasted this combination and this is tempting me a lot..:)
